US Leads Global Ultra-Wealth Population With $22.3 Trillion Portfolio

The United States continues to hold a dominant position in the global economy and wealth distribution in 2025, maintaining its status as the world's largest economy with a GDP of $30.62 trillion, primarily driven by a strong service sector. US companies remain deeply committed to the Chinese market despite recent trade tensions, viewing China as a stable investment climate crucial for production and growth. The US also leads globally in ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNW), housing 38% of this population, with a combined wealth of $22.3 trillion, far exceeding that of China and other nations. This dominance in wealth is attributed to corporate earnings, tax cuts, deregulation, and a diversified economy resilient to policy volatility, such as tariffs and trade conflicts. Despite China's significant industrial and manufacturing capabilities and rapid growth in Asia and India, it still trails the US considerably in both GDP and private wealth among billionaires. Overall, the US's economic and wealth supremacy is expected to continue, supported by strong domestic markets and sustained investment appeal.
